According to a pencil note (probably not authorial) this was the copy of R.E. Pearn, maybe the son of the author. Detailed description of the evacuation undertaken in view of the Japanese invasion, covering all parts of Burma. ". those who evacuated from Burma included Madrasis, Oriyas, Tamils, Benaglis, Sikhs, Punjab Mussalmans, Gurkhas, Anglo-Indians, Anglo-Burmans, Europeans, speaking a wide variety of languages with, for the most part, no common tongue, and divided not only by race and language but also be religious principles and ancient customs which vitally affected their whole manner of life. Into all matters of the organisation of evacuation these factors entered, for one could not eat the food which another could eat, and one could not share the same quarters with another; the habits and customs of this diversity of peoples in these and in other matters had each to be considered and provided for; while the numerous languages which were used by the evacuating population produced the greatest difficulty in guiding and helping them." Incredibly detailed report, even Kingdon-Ward`s journey out of Burma is described: "Mr Kingdon Ward, the explorer and naturalist, had been in Putao, which he left on the 15th May; avoiding the Chaukan Pass, he struck north and crossed the Diphu Pass, at 15,000 feet [according to a pencilled note: 16,850], and so, passing through Rima on the Tibet border, eventually reaching Sadiya in North Assam, after covering nearly four hundred miles in a period of just two months." Rare, according to the publication information, this report was published in an edition of 30 copies only! We cannot find a copy of this part (or of any other part of this report) in a public library - being classified as "Secret" on the front cover and title, this is to be expected.
